Problem w Apps2sd and 16 GB sdhc card

[sputnik99]

First of all: yes, I have searched the forum and Google for a solution but found nothing (so please: no answers like "use the search button"). Thanks. ;-)

I am running on cyanogens 3.4. Since I've bought a new 16 gb sdcard, I had to reinstall everything new. I formatted it with a 2 gb ext3 partition and the rest (first part) with fat32 (was preformatted).

I tried to install the hero 1.2 theme, before it ran without problems on my old sd. I had terrible problems with the new one, so I wiped and reinstalled cm 3.4.

The whole day yesterday, there were no problems. When I started my G1 today, it gave me a low on space warning (I have about 1,9 gb internal memory left, thanks to the phantastic work of the well known developers here). All my apps were gone. In the market app they show up as installed but can't be opened. I tried to download a file manager but it didn't work. My widgets on the home screen show a problem w. loading message, so obviously, the link to the sd is gone.

My sd card works perfectly out of the g1. I fixed permissions and repaired the file system with the new recovery console 1.2 from cyanogen.

any ideas someone?

The problem is that you made wrong partitions order. First partition should be vfat partition and second - ext2 partition.
I have also 16 GB SDHC card on Dude 1.2 with app2sd. My ext2 is 500 MB. Everything is fine.
Try to change partitions order.:)

sorry I did not express exactly. Fat32 is my first partition, ext3 my second

Hi ,
I read in one of the posts that your ext2 partition has to be less than 2 gb in size.
That could be the problem.
Not sure if this applies to ext3.

1) Are you sure it should be ext3, not ext2?
2) Maybe it is problem with partition size? Try to reduce for eg. less then 1 GB. (but I do not think it should be a reason).
